Prof. J. H. Wilson to Address Broad St. Temple Sisterhood
Prof. J. H; Wilson of the Department of English of Ohio State University wil! address pienibers of the E. Broad St. Temple Sisterhood ait 'a luncheon tneet- liig on Monday, Dec. 3, at 12:30o'clock at the Teniple. His subject will be, "Mr. Dry-asrDust Talks Back." Following the meeting a. talkie called, '*A Pilgrim¬ age Through Palestine/' will be'shown, Mrs. B. W. Abramson is chairman Of the program committee.
"I iim quite sure that (bar one) I have no race prejudices, and I think I have no color prejudiccb, nor caste prej¬ udices/nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it. lean sfcmd any society. All that I care lo know is that a niaii is a human-being—that is enough for mc; he can't he any worse.*'
In those words arc contained thc phi¬ losophy of Mark Twain, our greatest hu¬ morist and tlie author of books that have become American classics, the cen¬ tenary of whose birth the'nation cele^ bratcs on' November 30th. ,, Like his prototype, the late Will Rogers, who often found himself m hdt water be¬ cause he directed some of thc sliarpcst barbs of his native wit toward subjects which some people thought should, be outside the ken of a humorist, Twain refused to be encumbcrctl by the inhibi¬ tions that shackle writers who are not regarded as humorists.; lie wrote about mai)y things and said what he liked about, the'm. One of the subjects, on which he wrote was thc Jews,
Long before his ideas about,the Jews could possibly .have been afTccied one way or the other by the fact that his datighter, Clara Clemons, had inarricd Gssip Gabrilowitsch, the cmincnL Jewish musician who is the conductor of the Detroit Sympliony. Orchestra, Twain had shown liimself ¦¦ familiar' with many phases of the Jewish problem. No¬ where in his writings is there to be found anything that can be construed as offeii- sive to Jews. On "the contrary, all his refcrcnceb to the Jewibh people are sym¬ pathetic and friendly; Twain admired the Jews as a race and, as one of hi*; biographers ,i>oiiits oiit, considered them "the nioat gifted race in the world." He know many of the leading Jews of his day intimately. At one time he was ac- tuallj' in love with Adah Isaacs Menken, thc exotic Jewess who was the darling of the theatre in the 1860's. There is also a record of his-<'CnthUsiastic interest in a project for a Jewish children's thea¬ tre on New York's East Side.
Anyone familiar with Twain's, work also knows how deeiily he was inspired by the Bible. There are Well over a hundred Biblical allusions in Twain's writings. He also . syriipathized with Ilerzl in his organization of the. Zionist movement and was. one- of the first American writers to comment on Zion¬ ism. His interest in Zionism, was .par¬ ticularly striking since he made many uncomplimentary references to Palestine after visiting . that country in 1867. Twain's trip to Palestine also took hiim to, Gibraltar, Tangicrs and Morocco, where he found much in the life of the Jews to distress him.

Below are a, few extracts from Twain's writings which show how he felt about tiie Jews:
"The Jew is not,a disturber of the peace in any country." , , "That the Jewish home is a .home in the truest sense is a fact which no one will dispute."
"The jew is not a btirden on the chari¬ ties of the state nor of the city." ,
A Jewish beggar is, not impossible, perhaps, such a thing. may ekist, but there arc few men that can say ; they have seen that spectacle."
"His (the Jew's) race, is entitled to be called the, most benevolent of alt the' races of men."
"The Christian .can claini no superior-, ity over the Jew in the matter of good citizenship." ¦'
"Nine-tenths of the hostility to the Jew comes from the aivCraige Christian's inability to compete with the average Jew in business." I ,
"The persecution of -the Jew is not due in any large degree to religious prejudice." ;
"On the score of. religion.,. (persecu¬ tion of the Jew) has already come to an end. On the scort; of race prejudice and trade, I have the idea it will con¬ tinue." ; '
"Jewish persecution is not a religious, passion, it is a business passion."
"Who' gives the Jew; the right, who gives any race the right, to sit still in a free country, and let somebody else look after its safety?"
"Get up volunteer regiments. composed of Jews solely, and when the drums beat, fall in and go to the front,.so as tare-; move . the reproachment that ypu. have few Miassenas'athong you,.and that you feed on a coimtry but don't like to fight for.it.*? ¦¦¦;;. ¦''':/
"The Jews have the best average brain: of any people in the world."
"They (the Jews) are peculiarly and conspicuously the world's intellectual aristocracy.**
"All things are mortal but the Jew; I'all other forces',piss, but he remains?' From these statements, it is clear that Twain had given considerable thought to the Jewish problem. He had no use for: cringing and.cowardly Jews. It was his idea that Jews ought to organize politi¬ cally as Jews in order to obtain their rights. He was sincerely, hut mistakenly, convinced that the Crucifixion had noth¬ ing to, do with the origin of anti- Semitism. Twain believed hatred of the Jew had its roots only in economic rival-, ries and Christian jealousy, of Jewish in¬ tellectual attainments. With that un¬ canny ability to.make shrewd predictions that so often characterized the humorist. Twain knew two generations ago that on this score anti-Semitism would never be eradicated. He himself offered no solution for the Jewish problem, but he recognized its existence and attempted to explain it in his own way.—(Copy¬ right, 1935).
BERLIN (WNS)—Anticipating the forthcoming decree for thc economic extermination of thc German Jews, 'the Reich Union of Jurists has-ordered all lawyers, patent agents and commercial counselors to dissolve by April. ,1 part- nershilis and associations with. Jews or half-Jews. This decree came on the heels of one by Minister of Economics Schacht barring all Jews from trading oil' Gcrhiariy's eight stock exchanges arid forcing Jewish traders to do business through Aryans. Forcshadowii^ a ban on public , officials ¦patronizing Jewish stores, the official Nazi organs, FoW- khcher Beobachler nnd Der Angriff^ an- nounwd that Dr. Heinrich Sahm, lord mayor of Berlin, is to be ousted because lie was found guilty by a Nazi court of-buying in a Jewish shop.
Extension of the ieconomic war against Jews to Aryans. iriarried to Jews.was also revealed ¦¦ ¦when a labor- court, at' Frankfort-am-Main approved, the dis¬ missal of, an Aryan technician frotti e job lie had held shice. 1914 merely be¬ cause he was married to a Jewess. The discharge of, this Aryan, who -.. was wounded during the World War and decorated for bravery, was ordered by Robert Ley, head of the Nazi Labor Front, who has issued orders to oust from their jobs . all Aryans iparncd to Jews. The technician's employer told the court that the man was ^dismissed
only because of instructions from Ley, ivlio informed' the court that even : Aryans married to Jews before the ad¬ vent of the Nazi regime were subject to dismissal. , This incident gave spiecial point to an editorial in the ForZ/mc/ier Beobachler which declared that ' "thc ; Nazi movement's unwritten laws" were above the laws of the state and the rules , of the Nazi party. . .
In view of the'iritensified drive .against the Jews considerable surprise was. ex-, pressed in Jewish circles here at the failure to, exclude Jews from the new issue of Wer Ist's, tbe German who's who. Although many of those in the book ¦ listed themselves as Aryans, the book also contains many names such as Cohen, Warburg, Simon, Rosenthal arid Levy.

Hillel Players who have been present¬ ing the Ohio State campus and Columbus wftli tlic highest type of drama for the last ten years, rose to new heights last Thursday and Saturday niglits in the production of Eugene O'Neill'i. comedy, "Ah Wilderness". The performances set a new high for Hillel in perfection of interpretation, smoothness of presenta¬ tion, and efficiency of technical \vork.
Martui H. Rubin, a former Hillel star, look over thc coaching reins two weeks ago. and, the finished production which was prcbentcd, received tht: highest com¬ mendation from the UOO «r riiore persons who attended the two {lerformanccs.
Jerome Schwartz who portrays Rich¬ ard, a youth experiencing the difficulties of adolescence, and Willie Gomberg, the star of "Liliom'', who was cast as thc oft-incbriated< uncle, should get the dis¬ tinction for their interpretations. The humor, the antics of thc intoxicant Gara- berg provided the play with its mtist humorous scenes. Belle Mvas played adeptly by Ruth Salcr, and.thc moonlight part with Muriel, Evelyn B. Levy, ex¬ hibited a. high degree of perfection.
Equally as effective in their roles were Robert Jaffc, a new I-ljllel .find, who took the part of the father. His scene with Richard deserves special mention, while Clara Rosenticrg as the worried mother also did well.
In the secondary roles were:-Bess Marks, Ruth Rosenbluth, Isadorc Grccn- blatt, Maurice Portman, Nathan Zahm, Nat Nast, Leona Atlas, Robert Coplan, and Joseph .Levinger.
The work' of Eduard Goodman and Robert Leavitt should be commended. These men, as business tnanager and ticket chairmen did a fine job. Over flOO persons attended the two i>erfbrmanccs.
Ester Levinson assisted Rubin in the coaching while Stuart Allen of Strollers aided in the technical capacity.
Faye F. Silbersteln is president of the Players this year.—5*0/ L. Aucrbach.

NEW YORK (WNS)—Heeding the plea of thc Church of England as¬ sembly to all Cliristians to .protest against Nazi racial poUeies and persecu¬ tion of the Jews, thc executive commit¬ tee of the Federal Council ot Ctiurchcs of Christ in America issued a denuncia¬ tion oE the Hitler regime and catted for a wide protest of NE^zi persecutions. The text of the statement follows j
"In a recent protest against the pres¬ ent treatment of tlie Jews in Germany the Assembly of tlie Church of England has expressed tlie Jiope that other Chris¬ tian bodies would join tliein iii this pro¬ test. This we feci constrained to do, We are members of churches which are liound to the church in Germany by man> and intimate tics. We acknowl¬ edge our indebtedness to the great Ger¬ man teachers and intcrprcicrs of the Christian religion from Luther's day to the present who „haye enrictied our com¬ mon Christian heritage. Since the war we have protested against the disabili¬ ties to which Germany was subjected by the Versailles treaty and have worked for their removal, l-'or Jus reason we feel it our duty to speak' with equal frankness when Germany adopts a policy which threatens her moral isolation.
"We. protest against this policy, be¬ cause the treatment accorded to the Jews is unworthy of a great nation. To brand a coiisidcrable section of the {)Opulatioh as hihercntly inferior' on grounds of race alone and to cut off from the nor; uial contact of life per.<;ons whose fam¬ ilies liave lived in Germany for genera¬ tions and who have rendered distin? guished service in many fields of scholar¬ ship, art and government, is to violate the standards of honor and good faith which are the common property of civ¬ ilized nations. But our reason for pro¬ test goes deeper still. We protest against this policy because thc philosophy which is used to justify it is a pagan philosophy. Since it is based on a reli¬ gious interpretation of race, thc present treatment of the Jews raises far deeper issues than former persecutions of Jews and other minorities based merely upon political and. aceidcntal considerations. It is the attempt of a pagan tribalistic moveriient based on race, blood and soil to cut off Christianity from its historical, rootfi and a Christian. nation from its religious past.
"Therefore, . all branches of the Christian church niusri make their pro¬ test not only iii^the name of; human brotherhood but of Christian faith. The IMjlicy now lieing pursued in Germany threatens the liberty of all persons, Cath¬ olic and Protestant alike, ,whD believe that their supreme duty is to Almighty God. The claim of the State to control every aspect of life limits the freedom of the scholar in his search for truth; of the artist in his pursuit of beauty; of the Christian in the practice of hrs religion. It puts almost insuperable bar¬ riers in the way of normal intercourse between Germany and other peoples. Its continuance is bound in the end to result in the deterioration of the inteVcctital and moral fiber of those who sul>mit to it. In the t>ast, Germany hqs renderel iij^rjil service to mankind aiid to the Christian faith. We are loath to believe tliat she will permanently disavow the moral ideals of Christianity."

The text of the statement follows j
"In a recent protest against the pres¬ ent treatment of tlie Jews in Germany the Assembly of tlie Church of England has expressed tlie Jiope that other Chris¬ tian bodies would join tliein iii this pro¬ test. This we feci constrained to do, We are members of churches which are liound to the church in Germany by man> and intimate tics. We acknowl¬ edge our indebtedness to the great Ger¬ man teachers and intcrprcicrs of the Christian religion from Luther's day to the present who „haye enrictied our com¬ mon Christian heritage. Since the war we have protested against the disabili¬ ties to which Germany was subjected by the Versailles treaty and have worked for their removal, l-'or Jus reason we feel it our duty to speak' with equal frankness when Germany adopts a policy which threatens her moral isolation.
"We. protest against this policy, be¬ cause the treatment accorded to the Jews is unworthy of a great nation. To brand a coiisidcrable section of the {)Opulatioh as hihercntly inferior' on grounds of race alone and to cut off from the nor; uial contact of life per.mit to it. In the t>ast, Germany hqs renderel iij^rjil service to mankind aiid to the Christian faith. We are loath to believe tliat she will permanently disavow the moral ideals of Christianity."
